Belgian filmmaker Guillaume Senez has always been fascinated with personal responsibility and family dynamics. His latest film, which premiered at last autumn’s Toronto Film Festival, fits the mould; it tells the story of a father\u2019s struggle to reconnect with his estranged daughter in a place that doesn\u2019t take too kindly to foreigners like him. Working as a driver for a private car service in Tokyo, French expat Jay has never been able to get custody of his daughter Lily; for nine years he has used his occupation to travel the length and breadth of Tokyo in his cab, looking for his daughter … Just when he decides to give up and move back to France, a chance encounter opens up the possibility that he might actually find with his daughter.<\/p>\n
This screening, which is in French with English subtitles, is part of SUAD’s Francofilm Festival\u2013 a series of five films showing on consecutive nights between 19 and 23 April, celebrating the French language and the diversity of Francophone cinema.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
